Trivia

• Clownmato originated in an old, abandoned game Pizza Tower Guy made called "Pizza Horror".
  • Despite other enemies bearing similarities to enemies featured in Pizza Horror, Clownmato is the only one which retains both its name and basic design.
• Data present in Clownmato's files indicates that it is supposed to be able to be scared, however, it is unable to be scared, as its scared animation defaults to its falling animation.
• Clownmato was originally intended to be a boss character, as seen in very old pieces of concept art, but was later changed to just be a basic enemy instead.
• Clownmato's behaviour has been altered a few times:
  • In the April 2021 build, Clownmato could not be killed and would bounce the player upwards. Its animation were also different, but got reused as its landing animation
  • In the Rework build, Clownmato would leave balloons which float upwards. Touching a balloon would give the Clown transformation. Balloons explode into 2 cheese spikes after some time, in which touching would also give the player the Clown transformation.
• In early concept art, Clownmato bears a striking resemblance to "Grunkfuss the clown" from the One Night At Flumpty's series
